Hippocrates：The Oath of Medicine中山大学附属第五医院内分泌科谢丹红

　　You do solemnly swear, each by whatever he or she holds most sacred

　　That you will be loyal to the Profession of Medicine and just and generous to its members

　　That you will lead your lives and practice your art in uprightness and honor

　　That into whatsoever house you shall enter, it shall be for the good of the sick to the utmost of your power, your holding yourselves far aloof from wrong, from corruption, from the tempting of others to vice

　　That you will exercise your art solely for the cure of your patients, and will give no drug, perform no operation, for a criminal purpose, even if solicited, far less suggest it

　　That whatsoever you shall see or hear of the lives of men or women which is not fitting to be spoken, you will keep inviolably secret

　　These things do you swear. Let each bow the head in sign of acquiescence

　　And now, if you will be true to this, your oath, may prosperity and good repute be ever yours; the opposite, if you shall prove yourselves forsworn.

 

译文如下：

　　

    仰赖医神阿波罗?埃斯克雷波斯及天地诺神为证，鄙人敬谨直誓，愿以自身能力及判断力所及，遵守此约。凡授我艺者，敬之如父母，作为终身同业伴侣，彼有急需，我接济之。视彼儿女，犹我兄弟，如欲受业，当免费并无条件传授之。凡我所知，无论口授书传，俱传之吾与吾师之子及发誓遵守此约之生徒，此外不传与他人。

　　我愿尽余之能力与判断力所及，遵守为病家谋利益之信条，并检柬一切堕落和害人行为，我不得将危害药品给与他人，并不作该项之指导，虽有人请求亦必不与之。尤不为妇人施堕胎手术。我愿以此纯洁与神圣之精神，终身执行我职务。凡患结石者，我不施手术，此则有待于专家为之。

 

　　无论至于何处，遇男或女，贵人及奴婢，我之唯一目的，为病家谋幸福，并检点吾身，不作各种害人及恶劣行为，尤不作诱奸之事。凡我所见所闻，无论有无业务关系，我认为应守秘密者，我愿保守秘密。尚使我严守上述誓言时，请求神祗让我生命与医术能得无上光荣，我苟违誓，天地鬼神实共亟之。
